The best time to travel to Northern Xinjiang is from May to October. Each time period has its unique scenery and experiences.?
May to June: At this time, the grasslands in the Yili region of Northern Xinjiang are lush and green, with wildflowers blooming in competition. The ice and snow on Sayram Lake begin to melt, creating a picturesque scene with the lake reflecting the snowy mountains, making it an excellent opportunity to appreciate natural scenery.?
July to August: The temperature rises across Xinjiang, and fruits and melons ripen abundantly, making it a great time to savor local delicacies. At the same time, it is also the peak season for visiting scenic spots in Northern Xinjiang such as Kanas and Hemu, where the scenery is breathtaking but relatively crowded with tourists.?
September to October: Autumn in Xinjiang seems like nature has overturned its palette, with a riot of colors. The trees in Kanas turn golden, and the Populus euphratica forests also display a mesmerizing golden hue, making it a paradise for photographers.?
In addition, if tourists enjoy snowy landscapes and ice and snow sports, from November to March of the next year is also a good choice. The winter scenery of Northern Xinjiang, covered in silver and white, is equally charming.?
. But please note that the temperature is relatively low at this time, so it is necessary to take warm measures.?
